Skeleton with a Burning Cigarette - Vincent van Gogh - Framed Canvas Wall Art Print

Bring a surprisingly expressive piece of art history into your home with Head of a Skeleton with a Burning Cigarette – Vincent van Gogh Framed Canvas Wall Art Print. This unusual work was painted by Vincent van Gogh around 1885–86 during his time studying at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp. The original painting depicts a skeleton holding a burning cigarette between its teeth, blending anatomical study with the artist’s early creative energy and a touch of dark humour.

Unlike many of van Gogh’s more famous colourful landscapes or portraits, this smaller piece stands out for its stark contrast, thoughtful composition and the way it plays with themes of mortality and irony.

The deep background and careful detail give it a striking presence that invites reflection and conversation in any space.

This framed canvas print brings that striking imagery into your décor with expressive depth and personality. The evocative combination of bold lighting and thoughtful subject matter adds an intriguing focal point to living rooms, studies, offices or creative spaces, striking a balance between classic artistry and unexpected character.
